Zooming into the current split in tmux is a valuable tool to give yourself some
screen real estate. These days I am almost always presenting, streaming, or
pairing up with a co-worker over a video call. Since I am always sharing my
screen I am generally zoomed in to a level that is just a bit uncomfortable, so
anytime I make a split it is really uncomfortable, being able to zoom into the
split I am focused on is a big help, and also help anyone watching follow where
I am currently working.

Default key bindings for zooming the current split

``` bash
bind-key z resize-pane -Z
```

I have rebound this to match the default binding with mod+z rather so that I
get that single keystroke experience.

``` bash
bind -n M-z resize-pane -Z
```
